Your wall called, and it wants you to put this calendar on it.
VAIN is so excited about this and we hope you will be, too. Starting this weekend, our “VAIN Loves Vera” 2011 wall calendar will hit local stores, with all proceeds benefiting The Vera Project, Seattle’s groundbreaking all-ages music and arts venue.
The calendar is a 12-month glimpse at the history and hairstyles of music as seen through the creative forces at VAIN. It’s got hip hop, punk rock, glitter rock, classical, hair metal and more, with a special tribute to famed NYC nightclub Max’s Kansas City (pictured above on the calendar cover) that features members of Seattle’s music and arts community, shot by famed photographer Charles Peterson. The calendar also includes images by mega-talented photogs Curt Doughty and Peter Kearns, with hair and styling by VAIN.
The project was definitely a labor of love for us (making it a benefit for Vera was the easy part!); music is a huge source of hair inspiration for both VAIN clients and staff, so we wanted to represent each genre right. No strand of hair was teased, sprayed, gelled or curled without thinking about the artists who inspired the looks with their sounds and style. We hope you’ll like the finished product and support a great cause in the process.
Look for the VAIN Loves VERA calendar at VAIN, The Vera Project, Sonic Boom Records, Easy Street Records, Pretty Parlor, and Georgetown eatery Smarty Pants. It will also be available for purchase online at www.theveraproject.org. Huge thanks to everyone involved in making it happen!
